regenerative remix

In this interview Norient asked Eduardo Navas, one of the main scholars theorizing the phenomenon of remix, to clarify some of his points and to talk about algorithms, the surplus of remix studies, and cultural appropriation.

In the second chapter of his essay, Regenerative Speech, Eduardo Navas claims that every language is a remix. As phonemes and words are not property that belongs to a specific person they function as basic building blocks for communication.

Just like words to create sentences, songs and artworks have become building blocks for new ones. In his essay, Eduardo Navas proposes a future in which constant updates and connectivity will become ubiquitous.
